Yeah I feel like Excel always thinks of what would be the worst way to copy/cut/paste depending on my intentions, and then it does exactly that.
I know that’s obviously not the case, but Excel is just so unintuitive in so many ways (for me).
This. Honestly, most of the arguments I read against passkeys just sound like “old man yells at cloud.”
It’s not that difficult. Spend 10 minutes researching the topic and you’re fine. Passkeys are so much more convenient than having to use passwords. When implemented right, it’s literally one click from opening the login page to being signed in. On all of my devices.
For the third time: IF you take care of the data, it’s fine in both cases. If you neglect your beloved book for 70 years and store it under a bridge, it’s going to be completely useless as well. The key part is the taking care of your medium.
And you need to know how to read to read paper copies. Same thing, essentially. Anyone speaking hieroglyphics fluently? Point is, if you take care of your archive and make sure it remains accessible, it doesn't really matter whether it's digital or analog.
Old piece of paper is quite accessible
If stored properly.
So are digital copies, though. If stored properly.
Also, power consumption.
cannot wait for the contract to expire
There is no contract with MikroTik. You buy the hardware, that's it. The software and updates are free.
Can you please copy this text and paste it into your terminal to prove you’re not a bot?
With B2B there’s also the big benefit that quite often, the person buying it and the person paying for it are two different people. That makes it easier for the one you built rapport with to still prefer your services over cheaper alternatives.
Neither does Sony (anymore), apparently. They still sold them.
They should, but the entire EU economy runs on US clouds. It's hard enough to get new hardware as it is (US hardware btw), so how should the EU, especially today, move to sovereign clouds within the next few years?
I'd argue every single EU business with more than five employees would be impacted by such a decision. Just pulling the plug would be economic suicide.
IPs are personal information afaik
So will https://wero-wallet.eu - you know, the European alternative to VISA/MasterCard.
Models with more ram have also increased in price around 20%. The M4 Pro base configuration went up $200. It’s just that nobody cares about Mac minis.
No, he wanted an UG & Co. KG
I guess that’s what happens when you get advised by a lawyer.
ZFS is amazing. It feels like magic.
I’d argue they’re both.
Yeah, good luck with that. Captchas are basically useless in today’s world, so are IP rate limits for anything just a little sophisticated. Of course it helps, but if you think this solves all problems, you live in a dream world.
there's bad actors that use bots to sign up to websites using bogus data.
There's a lot of false negatives because emails get stuck for hours, get blocked by the spam filter or fail to be delivered for whatever reasons.
I assume they just need a valid email address to put in and hope they can use the service without email verification.
Then that's an issue where GDPR steps in. Obviously privacy is important. But so is user choice. Again, this specific problem we're talking about here is about user choice. Privacy is a different concern entirely.
Is Facebook evil? Absolutely. Should people stop using it? Absolutely. Is drinking, gambling, eating junk food and smoking bad for you? Absolutely. Should this mean adults should not have the choice to do these things? Debatable.
If you decide to upload all your data to $company, that’s your choice. I don’t see why a user shouldn’t have the choice to do that. People already have all their data with Google and Meta, so I don’t see why this would be an issue for many. It’s not Apples job to protect users from themselves.
Besides, opening up the API would also allow people to self-host their models and plug in their own servers instead of having to trust the whole private cloud compute project (yes I know, it’s verifiable by experts, but I as an average homelabber certainly can’t).
It’s important to note that this isn’t about privacy. It’s about freedom of choice, and the avoidance of lock-in due to monopolistic practices.
I'd instead wonder why Google and Microsoft seemingly don't have to comply with the DMA.
If the market is reacting to the Gemini news now, something is wrong. This has been a known fact for months.
it's more Apple's attempt to prevent users to choose their own models. Apple could build it in a way that other model providers could safely and securely interface with the Spotlight index. They could implement a big warning that shows "if you proceed with this request, Spotlight will send this and that to the model provider." But Apple chose not to do that.
Much better. Now just add a freaking search button. That's literally your primary function, and you're lacking the button to do the one thing.
I understand as a power user you don't press on buttons, but from a UX perspective, if you don't trigger the search immediately upon typing, you need a button to start the search.
Your current UI suggests: Type in a query, and then click on "images" because that's the next thing that you can click.
(Also apparently my IP is now banned and now every page just reads "Forbidden," so I couldn't even buy your product if I tried. You really should invest a lot in UX if you want this to be a product that's used by anyone other than hardcore privacy nerds.)
Okay, so in order to do a test search, I have to:
1) type in a query and hit enter because there's no search button.
2) click signup, even though I want to evaluate it before creating an account.
3) apparently now I'm signed up without having to enter any details - what's the point? Just create a new session as soon as I initiate the search.
4) so now I need to return to the homepage to trigger another search.
5) search again, enter again. Now I'm greeted by a captcha.
6) after solving the captcha, I now have to enter my search query a third time because it wasn't saved
7) search results!
Guys.
now?
